Good fruit, not overly jammy. Plum, cherry. A bit of oak, well balanced. Not too hot. Velvety tannins, not without structure. Overall, pretty darn delicious.

Nice drinking wine. Heavy body but fruity. Very dark. Little aftertaste.

Explosive fruit gliding into a lingering rich toasty finish. $10 at country fresh.

The fruit slightly overbalances the wine. The tannins and acidity are present; firm and delicious, but the don't quite hold up.

Intense and fruity, a little too sweet for me but still drinkable. Reminds me of drinking a glass of blackberry jam. Good price anyway. Pair it with a pizza, it will complement the tomato sauce.
